The following reaction in aqueous solution was found to be first order in [OH^–], first order in
[C₂H₅Br], and inverse first order in Br^–.
C₂H₅Br + OH^–→ C₂H₅OH + Br^–
Which one of the following mechanisms is consistent with the observed reaction order?
◦ C₂H₅Br

C₂H₅⁺ + Br^–fast
C₂H₅⁺ + OH^–

C₂H₅OH slow
◦ C₂H₅Br +H₂O

C₂H₅OH + H⁺ + Br^–slow
H⁺ + OH^– H₂O fast
◦ C₂H₅Br

C₂H₅⁺ + Br^–slow
C₂H₅⁺+ OH^– C₂H₅OH fast
◦ C₂H₅Br

C₂H₅⁺ + Br^–slow
OH^– + Br^–

HOBr fast
HOBr + C₂H₅⁺

C₂H₅OH + Br^–fast
